Great Britain’s Olympic hopefuls will be given a tough test before their trip to Beijing this summer after Cuba accepted an invitation for a full international match in London in May. Britain’s progress in the past year means that, with one qualifying event remaining, they have seven representatives at this summer’s Games - two more than their combined total in the past three Olympics - but no nation can hold a candle to Cuba in terms of Olympic success in the ring.

Cuba have finished top of the medals table in all but one of the Olympics they have attended since 1972
